The video of this post is about John MacArthur. As Shepherd Conference ended, John MacArthur was unable to preach the sermon he had prepared. He sent a 2-3 minute video and a printed out version of his sermon.

The Truth of God – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
In the sermon of this post, MLJ went more deeply into concepts about God’s truth. He briefly discussed death and war in the process of emphasizing our need to surrender fully to scripture and the Holy Spirit. His points were very relevant in terms of current events of our day surrounding the EU’s support of Ukraine after Trump refused to embolden Zelensky, who was not ready for peace…. Also, I added a point from MLJ’s words that was not covered by MLJTrust, but that is very relevant to the false NAR movement of our day.
Worry and Anxiety – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The MLJ sermon of this post is another in his series on the wiles of the Devil. In the process of his teaching herein, he said quite a lot that applies to the word-of-faith, prosperity gospels and the Charismatic church. His words clarified their great claims via biblical passages. The thrust of his message was to show believers yet another way in which the Devil undermines a believer’s walk with the Lord, rendering them ineffective, discouraged…. [A song is attached to the post because in that song, one can hear the kind of process that MLJ discussed, in terms of laying down one’s self-striving and surrendering to Christ; quitting on self-guidance and receiving His.]
The Wiles of the Devil – Ephesians 6:10-13 – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
In times of battle and great war, military leaders will do all that is necessary in order to obtain information about their enemy’s strategy. Likewise, in the spiritual warfare of the Christian, they have to know how the enemy will attack. Thankfully, they have been told in God’s word who the enemy is and how he operates. Therefore, there is great encouragement in considering the works of the devil. In this sermon on spiritual warfare from Ephesians 6:10–13 titled “The Wiles of the Devil,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones uses this Scripture to aid the Christian in their understanding of the fiery darts that come from his hand and his evil army. While Satan is not omnipresent and is always subservient to God, he nevertheless has much power. His attacks on the world and Christian people specifically are strategic….
The Free Gift of God’s Grace – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
…Many misunderstand the kingdom of God and hold to a false salvation that is rooted in the belief that eternal life is a reward for a good life on earth. But besides offering no hope to a sinful person, it misses the entire glory of the free salvation in Christ — everyone justly deserves hell because they have all broken God’s law, yet Christ was offered as an acceptable substitute in their place in the reception of God’s wrath…. [MLJ explored the themes of this parable sufficiently well as to help listeners see whether they are making such a fatal error.]
The Trumpets in Revelation – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
What do the trumpets in Revelation stand for? Why are they in the book? How can their teaching be applied today? In this sermon on the trumpets, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones teaches more about these symbols from the book of Revelation. He notes that the trumpets afflict only one-third of their objects. This is contrary to the seals of Revelation, which afflict things as a whole. What do the trumpets represent? They represent what happens to those who persecute God’s people. Many times when people are punished for their sin, it is easy to think that it is all a coincidence, but Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds the listener that these calamities in Revelation are sent by God Himself….
The Intermediate State – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
What happens between death and the final resurrection, the so-called “intermediate state”?
The sermon of this post is from MLJTrust, they described it as follows: In this sermon on “The Intermediate State,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones presents and explains several views on the intermediate state. Some propose that souls sleep until Jesus comes again; some argue that the dead reside in Abraham’s bosom or a place of suffering until the final judgment; others argue that only those who have eternal life with God will even exist eternally, a view called conditional mortality. But what does the Bible say? Dr. Lloyd-Jones presents a biblical case for why both believers and unbelievers will live eternally, either with God or apart from Him forever in suffering.
John MacArthur | Health Update and Future at Grace
This post contains an 8-minute video with a specific update on John MacArthur’s health by him. His congregation was very pleased to have him at the church again, as was I to see him. I’ve been listening to him since I was converted, 20 years ago. He has impacted Christians all over the globe.
Redemption: The Eternal Plan of God – Martyn Lloyd-Jones [Part 2]
The sermon of this post is by Martyn Lloyd-Jones and is the followup sermon to the one just posted, on the covenant of grace in the Old Testament. If you want an improved understanding of the unity of the entire Bible that results from God’s plan of redemption, this sermon and the one last posted in this blog will be of much help to you. MLJ was one of the most biblically-sound pastors of the 20th century, he preaches the Bible like few do these days. The Bible has not changed it is God’s revealed truth for His people….
The Modern Philistine – by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
…“The essence of wisdom for the church at a time like this is to look back into her own history.” When she does this, what will she find? She will find that no revival has ever been known in history that denied the fundamentals of the Christian faith or neglected such vital truths. These truths are constantly buried by “the rubbish of the Philistines.” Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains the vital truths and doctrines denied by the Philistines: the sovereignty of God, the authority of the Bible, the doctrine of sin, and the wrath of God. Revival cannot happen without the proclamation of these truths. It is with arrogance, pride, and the tendency to glorify oneself rather than God that stands between us and His mighty blessings of revival.
